The Professional Services Council: Acquisition and Technology Policy Agenda Transforming for a Future of Improved Performance and Results
www.pscouncil.org
The PSC Acquisition & Technology Policy Overview
Acquisition system should be flexible using riskbased critical thinking to achieve the desired outcome
LPTA inhibits continued innovation and improvement of complex services
Core to the development of a new acquisition strategy is a risk-focused taxonomy
Use of Statements of Objectives instead of Statements of Work will provide optimal outcomes
Acquisition System should have the following attributes:
Speed to outcome
Agility in requirements
Transparency and competitiveness
Appreciation that risk is inevitable

PSC Acquisition Transformation Agenda
Workforce Transformation: Establish cross-functional development, business acumen, technical skills and new and creative training and education tools
Pre-Solicitation Transformation: Establish processes that enable accurate cost assessments and require cross-functional communication and collaboration before and during requirements generation to ensure accountability and transparency throughout the lifecycle of an acquisition.
Solicitation/Evaluation Improvements: Ensure requirements focus on the outcomes the government wishes to achieve, with continuous input from stakeholders in the contracting community, and provide opportunities for bidders to demonstrate where alternative solutions can achieve greater results. Similarly, evaluations should include clear and specific weights for desired criteria and be oriented to the outcomes to be achieved, not solely the price to be paid. Non-value-added requirements that restrict contractors’ ability to compete for work and deliver innovative solutions should be removed.
Post Award/Performance Improvements: Establish formal information sharing and expectations management processes after both successful and unsuccessful bids. To ensure successful mission outcomes, mechanisms are necessary to refresh aging technology capabilities over the course of the contract lifecycle and to accurately and expeditiously document contractor performance.
Ensuring a Competitive Industrial Base: Minor adjustments to the requirements for small business set-asides, prime and subcontracting requirements, and commercial items definitions could improve both the viability of the federal marketplace and the offerings available to the government.
General/Cross-cutting Recommendations: Reduce and streamline government-unique requirements to better take advantage of existing commercial capabilities and enable strategic planning to meet current and future agency needs. 2 1/21/2015
